This washed Gesha lot comes from the “La Chirimoya” farm owned by Edilberto Bermeo. Together with his family, Edilberto grows this rare variety on his small farm hidden in the mountains of Tabaconas, in the province of San Ignacio, Cajamarca.

The coffee is sourced in partnership with the Aromas del Valle cooperative, of which Edilberto is a member. This washed lot includes an extended 60-hour anaerobic fermentation before washing.

Ripe cherries are first sorted in water to select the densest (highest-quality) fruit. The cherries then ferment for 60 hours, are pulped and washed. Drying takes place on raised African beds under a solar drying tent and lasts 15 to 18 days on average.

In recent seasons the Aromas del Valle cooperative has offered trainings on fermentation as a way to add complexity in the cup and extra value for farmers.
